Rayzor Sports Glasses Use Augmented Reality Technology to Coach Young Soccer Players

Award-winning Rayzor is an innovative solution for soccer players. These sports glasses are equipped with augmented reality technology and designed for use during play, providing amateur players with virtual coaching, real-time game analysis, and error detection. This technology aims to enhance training sessions with a professional and advanced gaming experience.


However, incorporating technology into eyewear presents several challenges, including durability, weight, balance, and technological integration. Rayzor’s design is based on an analysis of facial anatomy, ensuring the glasses rest comfortably on the cheekbones while allowing unobstructed nasal breathing. To facilitate ball heading and withstand physical impacts during play, the glasses are designed without an upper frame.

Specification

Ergonomics in facial features is undoubtedly the most complex area for universal adjustment in the human body. To address this, lead designer Adi Abramov adopted the 50th percentile guidelines from Dreyfuss’s book. This approach enables the product to fit a wide range of facial structures. For optimal customization, the product is designed to adapt to an individual’s features.

This attention to fit ensures optimal comfort and functionality, making it a great product that combines precision with superior performance.
